I am happy, to have this medium to communicate my mind to helping someone today here. You know at times we tend to have something to contribute but now opportunity. Thank God for this platform.
As a little boy growing through the process of life. I came across many situations and experiences that I always tens to be surprised how unmade it through whenever I remember those times especially the difficult ones.
I happen to grow through difficulties, like most of the my life experiences are difficult ones. What I want to pass accross today is how I was able to get through thilses times and the lessons I learnt a long the way.
Since when I was 12 yrs old that's how the journey began. I grew up from a family of two mothers and one dad. Though we live ourselves. I have 4 siblings. We are doing well. As a result of sickness on dad's health. Many things started changing. Mum was a teacher and her salary won't be enough to care for everything in the family as dad most income goes to the healthcare and bills. School has resumed and we need to go back. Ummm no funds what wlcan we do. You know where I come from you don't expect anything from you uncles or Aunties no relations cares about nothing. Yes that's it. So what's ever the case you're responsible for yourself. Tor that's was how I began to look for little little job to do to earn the little and help my parents with some bills. I went into getting and fetching of sand in the near by stream for sale. I anmt elder brother with some of the community children. We started the hustling as little as we are. Sometimes we cry and complain we make excuses like we aren't supposed to do the work. You our parents this is your responsibility. We nag and talk but we can't deny the situation and reality that nothing we work if we don't rise and do something.
After some time we finished secondary school and began studying at University. My parents all passed away. Starting from my step mum, dad and mum. We automatically became orphans. Ummmm and that's how the story changes. My dear.... The experience is not a good one. If you're an orphan out there and struggling for the best, I pray for you to get it and even more. I no what it meanyto be one.
During the burial of my dad and mum. Because dad died one day mum followed. So we had plenty people that can to say their respects and condolences to us. Some promised to render assistant, some said this others that. But after all everyone left and we didn't see anyone. Ummm such is life. We are left to.face the reality. And I noticed something life don't want to know is you're an orphan, rich, poor, a widow.. etc life won't care. It will still present life challenges to you no matter what and if you don't arise to work it out, you will either die complaining or be a miserable person.
I and my siblings refuses to complain and make excuses. We always encouraged ourselves. With the little we have we fed. We pray for ourselves. We don't just believe in miracles we believe in putting effort through hardwork and patience. We rather go through pains and get the results than waiting and complaining and not seeing any changes.

One thing is sure. Stand up where you are, with the little you have with the nothing you have. Make a choice to be a better person. Don't compromise no matter what. Find something invest your time on it. If it's a skill learn it and grow. Today I have a skill on operatorship of sachet water. There was a time that I was to learn it. I came, I watch I failed was corrected I tried again I failed I refused to give up. I don't have any options that to learn this. I start over again I learnt and I catch up. Today I paid my fees through this work. Imagine waiting for some relatives to help me pay or me seating down complaining. Do you think I would have get that fees?? I won't. To eat we need to rise and work before we can eat. Life don't want to know we have no one. It's gives us same opportunity and challenges and we need to stand if we really want changes and growth. If we really need a better life.
Sometimes I prepared for some task and I failed. But when I refused to relent I start over and bummm results started coming. Please... What's that situation your in? How's life treating you? Make a choice today no matter what you will succeed. No matter what you will not make excuses. That you will make it! And waiting on in patience you will surly achieve it.
I noticed, we all have the ability to make our own best life come through. Nevee give up and never rely on excuses. Start where you are. Life don't want to know anything!
Thank you for reading my blog and I hope from my little experience you got something great today.
